work in photography

Post by don giovanni »

hi everyone! i just wonder if anyone here could give me some advice on how to start to work in the photographic business. now I work in a warehouse for a miserable ?780 a month, wich is a shit pay for nowdays costs of living. i want to earn more money!! and i thought of photography because in this days seems all to be revovilng around pics and image. also i 've always been fascinated by the world of photograpy since i was little. i would be interested in working as freelance (paparazzi style) as in this way i could start to make money(hopefully) fairly quick. every day a go to the news agent round the corner and i stop to look those magazine like "OK" "HELLO" but many papers too "SUN" "MIRROR" etc. and i think how much money that phyographer got for that soht? i heard that if you have the right shot they pay you few grounds and that sound really good to me. please reply with some advise or suggestions ( or if you have i work proposal even better) thanks

drop in money? well at list would be a more exaiting job of what i do now and also i'm not so sure because if i work hard maybe i could make better money. ok probabily what you mean is that i wont have a secure income as i do now but what can i say at list is a way to try a change!? also are in this forum some people involved in this type of job( photographer working for magazine or newspapers like "OK" "HELLO" "NOW" "SUN" so on. please would be nice to have some hint. i already have a good camera (eos 100) yes i know is not a pro camera but i think would be ok to start with. and of course i'm thinking to by a digital camera and waht about the SONY F828? has a awesome 8mp! at a price around around ?900.

professional advice needed!!

PS how much normally a mag or newspaper would pay for a pic for eg. Simon Cowell drunk flashing his butt and Jordan kissing it?
